The Systems Alignment Innovation Hub (SAIH) launched Targeted Research Funding grants to fund innovative systems alignment approaches that engages partners from the medical, public health, and social services sectors in collaborative efforts to dismantle structural and systemic racism and improve health equity.

The 18-month intensive planning grants assisted the first cohort of awardees in assessing and improving the feasibility, acceptability, and evaluability of their systems alignment ideas, eventually creating research proposals. SAIH’s team of subject matter experts has supported the awardees throughout their projects with monthly coaching calls, site visits, and a grantees community of practice. All four grantees had their grants renewed after their 18-month planning grant to continue the evaluation of their systems alignment intervention.
